"I recently hired Jim Dietz and his company Silver Lining to build an ADU on my property. Jim helped with a lot of the county requirements and roadblocks. I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. He was very interactive and insisted on me walking through the project weekly to show me the progress. His guys were clean and worked hard. Now my neighbor wants to build and ADU and is probably going to hire Jim."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with an incredible team of contractors who undertook the task of fixing my popcorn ceiling. From start to finish, they demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication, leaving me thoroughly impressed and completely satisfied with their work. I would like to share my positive experience with this outstanding crew and recommend them wholeheartedly. From the moment I contacted them, their customer service was exceptional. They were responsive, attentive, and took the time to understand my requirements and concerns. They patiently answered all my questions, providing detailed explanations of the process, materials used, and timeline involved. Their clear communication and transparency instilled confidence in me right from the beginning. When it came to the execution of the project, the contractors truly excelled. They arrived promptly and were well-prepared with all the necessary tools and equipment. Throughout the entire process, they demonstrated an incredible level of skill and craftsmanship. It was evident that they were highly experienced in working with popcorn ceilings, as they navigated the intricate textures and patterns with precision and finesse. Not only were the contractors technically proficient, but they also displayed a strong attention to detail. They ensured that every inch of the ceiling was meticulously repaired, leaving no traces of imperfections. The final result was nothing short of remarkable! My popcorn ceiling was transformed into a smooth, flawless surface that looked brand new. I could not be happier with the outcome. Furthermore, the contractors maintained a clean and organized workspace throughout the project. They took great care to protect my furniture, floors, and belongings from any dust or debris. After completing the repairs, they diligently cleaned up the area, leaving my home in pristine condition. Beyond their exceptional workmanship, the contractors exhibited a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. They consistently checked in with me to ensure that I was pleased with the progress and final result. They went above and beyond to accommodate any additional requests or adjustments I had, working tirelessly to deliver a finished product that exceeded my expectations. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend the contractors who fixed my popcorn ceiling. Their professionalism, expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly commendable. If you are in need of skilled contractors who can transform your popcorn ceiling into a flawless work of art, look no further. These contractors are the epitome of excellence, and I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them."

"Team was fabulous to work with, hands down. My vision was to add more living space without adding square footage. Expert Home Builders made it happen. Walls were moved, doors rearranged, pocket door installed, custom shelving, new kitchen with extra seating, and new bathrooms came to life. I felt I was part of the Expert team. My vision and their high standards created my perfect place."

"We completed a full master bathroom plus master closet remodel with Brother & Brother Builders in March 2020. Ido, the project manager, and the crew, Ricardo and Ismael, performed excellent work at transforming our bathroom from an awkward and dated 1960s layout to a modern, beautiful masterpiece. Selection Process: We interviewed eight contractors for our master bathroom remodel. We chose Brother & Brother Builders for a variety of reasons. Ido, the project manager, spent a reasonable amount of time with us to understand the scope of the project, including asking questions and offering new insights to challenges. He provided us with a quote of the project cost before even leaving our house. The written quote included an appropriate level of detail about what the project would entail. The price seemed reasonable compared to the other quotes we had received. We felt comfortable talking with Ido. He was not overly pushy to close the sale. Brother & Brother followed up on multiple occasions regarding our interest in pursuing the work further. Before/Design Process: This is our first home and our first major remodel. We were, understandably, nervous. Brother & Brother provided design service through one of their project managers, Roi. Roi provided some valuable suggestions to the design process when he came to our home. He provided nice 3-D images of what our remodeled space might look like. As we were still unsure as to colors/styles/etc., the images gave us a good idea of what the finished layout would be, if not much about how it would actually look when it was done. In retrospect, we would have benefited from hiring an interior designer to help us walk through the process of style/color/tile selection. We spent a considerable amount of time trying to decide colors and styles. Hiring a trained designer would have saved time and stress overall. Construction: The renovation, from start to finish, was seven weeks, not including installation of the shower glass enclosure. The last two weeks of the renovation were during the first two weeks of the COVID-19 shelter in place restrictions. The initial timeline was 5-6 weeks. With consideration of the COVID epidemic, we were very pleased that the project was completed so close to the initial timeline. We communicated with Ido nearly every day via Whats App. He came to the house only a few times during the process -- mainly during inspections or to collect payment -- but, he was available via Whats App at any time. Ido provided valuable help finding us a vanity and countertop through his contacts. He provided some excellent suggestions at going with a more streamlined look that we are glad for now. He also provided encouragement and pushed us toward making decisions in a timely manner, all of which was needed and appreciated. We enjoyed working with him throughout the whole process. Ricardo and Ismael, the on-site crew, were wonderful to work with. Every day, they cleaned up the bathroom/bedroom work area, as well as their work areas on the side of the house. There was very little extra to clean up when the renovation was complete. They were extremely respectful in their interactions with our family, as well as being in our home every day. Ricardo, the lead contractor, checked in with us every step of the way to confirm what we wanted and needed. Ricardo had a great attitude throughout the entire process -- positive and willing to make changes or go above and beyond. At one point, he realized that we might need to order more tile for the shower wall, which would have been challenging regardless of the global pandemic, but even more challenging with it. He managed to find enough pieces in the remnant tile to complete the entire shower and no one would be the wiser looking at it -- a puzzle masterpiece. Completion: We are extremely happy with the finished product! We feel that the overall quality of the work is excellent. We highly recommend Brother & Brother Builders and would hire them again."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.

But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.

It usually takes around four to six months to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.
